When they finally caught up with George Jolly and arrested him just after midnight on Tuesday, Sheriff’s deputies found six pounds of meth in his car, as well as a quarter-pound of heroin (estimated to be worth $50,000), cash, and drug paraphernalia. But the events leading up to the arrest and discovery of his stash included a deputy being nearly clipped by Jolly’s car and tracking down the suspect with a Sheriff’s canine named Aco.

George Jolly

A Sheriff’s deputy pulled a speeding driver over in the northbound 101 lane near Casitas Pass very early in the morning on Tuesday, but the driver said he had no ID for either himself or his car. The driver, Jolly, then sped away, almost hitting the deputy, and raced up the highway to the Hermosillo exit with the deputy in pursuit as Santa Barbara police, California Highway Patrol, and the Sheriff’s K-9 unit responded. Jolly overshot the exit, went through the bushes, and landed in the center median along Coast Village Road. He then ran for it.

The responding officers set up a perimeter, and Aco and his handler tracked the 35-year-old Jolly to a shed on Palm Tree Lane. The Hollywood resident was arrested without further antics and booked on charges that included speeding, assault with a deadly weapon, heroin and meth possession, and evading, resisting, and delaying a peace officer. Los Angeles County also had a warrant out for him for drug possession and sales.

Does anyone else wonder where losers like this get such large quantities of drugs. it must be flowing freely through the border while the police chiefs, county sheriffs and the DEA sit around deciding which pot shop they going to raid.

One can only hope that a bust like this would put a dent in the drug trade, but with 52% of all deaths due to overdoses contributed to prescription meds like Oxycontin, were just sticking a pinkie in the dike.

At least we'll always have a super deputy and his hero K-9 to look up to....

I guess he's not jolly because George Jolly is another victim of the war on drugs.

The Constitutionality of government licensing schemes required for people simply traveling which is a guaranteed right in the Constitution aside.......

In all likelihood, if he didn't have illicit substances in his car he wouldn't have tried to evade police for lack of ID and documentation which does not carry a significant criminal sentence like having 6 lbs. of heroin.

"Does anyone else wonder where losers like this get such large quantities of drugs. it must be flowing freely through the border"

The US military guarded and protected poppy fields in Afghanistan - the Taliban had nearly eradicated the poppy fields before the US invasion. The brother of the US puppet leader in Afghanistan was involved in the heroin trade. The CIA protects drug dealers who cooperate with them and that helps them finance covert intelligence operations. Cocaine has been coming up from South America for decades with the help of the CIA.

People who support the war on drugs support this charade of a money making power scheme, financing horrific foreign interventions, bolstering of religious extremism and Nationalism in foreign countries and they support the destruction of US communities who are affected by the fallout.

The government should just come clean and open up storefronts for the stuff instead of playing the hypocrite role while aiding, abetting, and turning a blind eye when their 'friends' are producing/transporting this stuff. Jolly was just a pawn, now a money maker for the system and jails. Corporate pawn/slave. They just made money of you twice Jolly. Now you'll be paying for the rest of your life. Property of.

1) He got pulled for speeding in the northbound 101 lane near Casitas Pass, nothing to do with drugs or the war on drugs.

2) The driver said he had no ID for either himself or his car, nothing to do with drugs or the war on drugs.

3) The driver then sped away, almost hitting the deputy, nothing to do with drugs or the war on drugs.

4) He raced up the highway to the Hermosillo exit, nothing to do with drugs the war on drugs.

5) He overshot the exit, went through the bushes, and landed in the center median along Coast Village Road, nothing to do with drugs or the war on drugs.

6) He then ran for it, nothing to do with drugs or the war on drugs.

7) Los Angeles County also had a warrant out for him for drug possession and sales, the ONLY connection to drugs or the war on drugs.

UNLESS what happened is he was an irresponsible MORON and decided to get behind the wheel under the influence of incapacitating drugs, thus creating a dangerous situation for himself and those around him.

If he would've done his drugs and stayed at home like a good druggie loser, all of this could have been avoided, but no.Seems like a recurring theme here, prima donna druggie princess types who think the world revolves around them and when they get busted for doing something stupid, yes, it's the "war on drugs" to blame for their acts of stupidity. So over it. Kids, the lessons here are simple:

1) IF YOU'RE GOING TO DO DRUGS, STAY HOME! DON'T GET BEHIND THE WHEEL OF A CAR!

2) IF YOU'RE GOING TO DELIVER DRUGS, DON'T GET JACKED ON YOUR STASH AND TRY TO DRIVE A CAR!

3) GETTING PULLED OVER FOR DRIVING LIKE A JACKASS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE "WAR ON DRUGS"!

Stupid loser, enjoy your stay at the Graybar Inn and Suites extended stay hotel. I hear they have a lot of your buddies there.

I explained in my post that, lacking the war on drugs, Jolly may have gotten pulled over for speeding and may have had an issue with his license - but would he have risked his freedom for such a minor offense, or was he risking his freedom because he had 6 lbs of heroin which would put him in jail for many, many years?

If you can't answer that question, you have a problem dealing with basic logic.

No loon, no problem with logic, but you obviously have a problem with reality outside of your fantasy world.See loony, the guy looked, as it's said in street circles, F'ed up. That means he was driving under the influence of SOME substance. whether it was his stash or alcohol, doesn't matter, the law states that operating a motor vehicle while impaired is... ILLEGAL.Yes, I know, you're going to toot the "war on drugs" horn on that law itself, but if you do, you've shown that like the jolly moron, you're just as idiotic.If you do answer that question (of sorts) the way we all KNOW you're going to, YOU are in FACT a MORON.

DUI does not carry a 10+ year prison sentence. DUI is harder to pin on someone who uses drugs if they aren't extremely intoxicated. Drug runners generally don't get really intoxicated before smuggling 6 lbs of heroin. A DUI would have, however, guaranteed that they found the 6 lbs of heroin. Obviously what made him leave the scene was the 6 lbs of heroin in his car because that results in the longest prison sentence. Logic. Son. Use it.

Also, if you use REALITY logic (which you're OBVIOUSLY not capable of), regardless of if he were or weren't carrying dope, in an intoxicated state most of those morons tend to try and make a run of it. Reality son, apply it, you lose..,. again... get used to it.

I said "really" intoxicated - meaning not just on drugs but intoxicated to the point where they can't function properly. Most people who do drugs can mostly function when they do some drugs. They can talk to cops, drive their cars, etc. Just like alcohol, when they increase the dosage and get really high then functioning becomes more difficult.

We don't know how intoxicated this guy was. Obviously not enough for the officer to ask him to step out of the car immediately because he asked for his documents and had a short conversation first. If he was "really" intoxicated, the officer would have asked him to immediately step out of his car. According to the article that phrase was never mentioned.

So we can't really assume that he was majorly intoxicated, but either way it is a bit irrelevant.

How many drunk people who get DUIs try and make a run for it vs. people who are high on drugs? The answer is people who are high on drugs. Why do you think that is? Alcohol impairs judgement very heavily, pretty much as bad as even the worst illegal drugs. Could it possibly have anything to do with the fact that alcohol is legal and drugs are illegal and so the punishment is much worse for the person with drugs?

I'm not saying drug addicts are particularly smart, many of them are not. I'm not saying drug addicts make choices based heavily on consequences, many do not. But they still generally operate on the basis of risk and self preservation. Most of them won't run from the cops unless they are about to face some serious jail time. They know they have a high likelihood of being caught, and so why commit a crime that is worse than the one you are about to get busted for? Most of the time, when criminals run it is due to having drugs on them or having a warrant or from a serious violent crime. That is because these crimes carry very heavy prison sentences. It doesn't make sense to run from a $300 speeding ticket if there is a 50% chance you will get caught because it lands you in jail for a year. It makes more sense to run from a 10 year jail sentence if there is only a 50% chance you will get caught, because it adds only 1 year onto your sentence but getting away could save you 5-10 years.

Well, maybe homie the jolly jackass should watch how he does business then? If you're gooing to move product from point a to point b, try using a little "discretion" then? Oops, wait, my bad, discretion and idiots don't seem to know each other.
